APPLICATION AND ENROLLMENT PROCESS. 1. USFWS biologists conduct outreach to eligible landowners within the CCAA management area according to the following prioritization scheme: A. Lands within the area of extant xxxxxx populations (SW Oregon and southern Cascades; Figure 2) are identified as a priority area for xxxxxx conservation as they currently support an extant and reintroduced population. B. Lands within the central and northern Cascades that are presumed devoid of fishers are priority areas for xxxxxx conservation as the adjacent federal lands are expected to support a reintroduced population following reintroductions into the northwestern Cascades. C. Lands within the central and northern Oregon Coast Range are secondary areas for conservation until a reintroduction occurs, or fishers are discovered. 2. Landowner expresses an interest in participating and provides the following information: • Aerial photos or map of property to be covered; • Information on access (e.g., vehicular, off-road vehicle, or on foot) to their ownership; and 3. USFWS biologist conducts a site visit to confirm enrollment eligibility with Landowner, if appropriate. The property may be enrolled if it is deemed suitable, meaning that the property: A. Contains forested habitat; OR B. Is suitable for use by fishers for any of their life history needs. 4. A Permit Application is prepared by the Landowner with USFWS assistance if requested. 5. CCAA is implemented by participating landowner, as written, including application of all conservation measures.
